Please drive carefully while looking for a tree.
Road conditions are apt to be treacherous,

eye on your little ones; deep snow can be
hard for them to navigate.

The Fishing Line- by Dave Curphey
Now that I have put m y old W inchester away
until next hunting season, m y favorite fishing
pole has been seeing a little action. I ’ve been
to the Upper Rogue a few tim es but have yet
to land a salm on or steel head, although there
are a fair num ber of fish in the river. John and
Susan at Pat ’s Hand Tied Flies tell m e the
salm on are hitting on little corkys and roe,
various spinners, such as a M e p p s and Kast-
m asters. The steel head have been hitting on
nightcrawlers or roe.
I cam e hom e form fishing em pty handed last
weekend w ith all the excuses w hy I hadn ’t
caught anything. The water was too l o w and
clear, w asn ’t the right tim e of day, there
w asn ’t an overcast etc. Then, m y w ife re
m inded m e of a place I hadn ’t been in a long
tim e and that I should try it. So, I went, and
sure enough the first one I landed was a nice
salm on about tw elve pounds. The next one I
landed was som e red snapper and then a
package of shrim p. You know , I never have
been skunked at Safeway. W hat a fishing
hole!
Several weeks ago, I stopped o
BA f f a t L o s t
Creek Lake and caught a fe w tr o u t u s in g
rainbow pow er bait. The fish were about 1 4
inches and caught by the spillw ay. At W illow
Lake the fishing was a little slow , but the fish I
caught were nice. The yellow perch are
getting bigger, but slow to bite. There I have
been using nightcraw lers and fishing them on
the bottom .
In the near future I plan on fishing the upper
end of Lost Creek Lake where I usually catch
som e nice sized Germ an Brown Trout. For
them I use sm aller Rapalas or drift a whole
nightcrawler. Also, by next m onth the w inter
run steel head should be m aking their way to
the Upper Rogue River.
So, until next tim e, Happy Holidays to all and
good luck on your fishing.
P.S. Hey, M ildred, do ya fish?
